Backroom Blues Vol. 11 - Reviews
Blues, Blues, Blues we have it and we know it! Here is an excellent review of the latest Blues album released on Bongo Boy Records Backroom Blues Volume Eleven by Various Artists,
review by The Ark of Music - "The version of Gypsy Carns‘ track Stock Market Blues included on this compilation is a stellar live rendition of their single, speaking loud and clear to the working man with money lost in the stock market. It’s a modern take on a classic melancholy blues theme, with a lead guitar that perfectly blends modern and classic blues elements alongside a growling lead vocal."
In another radio review - "A nice sense of dark comedy emerges within the verses, ones that jest about how easy it is to lose money in the stock market. Honestly the live setting of the sound too helps to imbue it with that raw grit that makes the blues so fascinating."

Creative Arts Day
Gypsy and Caroline participated in the Creative Arts Day at the local Northeast Elementary School. Gypsy spent the entire day teaching Kinder-garden, 2nd, 3rd and 4th grad classes. He discussed how a guitar is made, the art of songwriting, the classes all sang the "Meridian" song that Gyp wrote. Then sang several songs with the children banging on percussion instruments. Caroline taught Ballet technique and even the boys got involved! It was a great learning experience for us all, plus a TON OF FUN!! Thank you Nancy W. and Rachel P. for all your assistance. Shout out to my excellent helpers JB and L - thank you bros for your assistance during the classes!
